MINI Cooper S JCW Diesel?

Yes please.

http://www.autoblog.com/2009/03/11/r...el-on-the-way/

"AutoExpress sat down with a senior engineer from Mini and asked if the automaker would consider offering a hopped-up diesel variant of the Cooper through JCW, Mini's in-house tuning division. The answer was a simple "good idea" and AE ran with it, speculating that the boosted oilburner could produce upwards of 160 hp and a considerable boost in torque from the stock 1.6-liter turbo-diesel. It's doubtful that we'll see a Mini Cooper D JCW this year, but expect a John Cooper Works edition of the Mini Crossover after it's launched in 2010."

I love me some diesels. If they offered a diesel Cooper S here in the states, it would be a hard choice to make when ordering.
